For this machine learning lab, I am using the species Canis latrans to predict presence from observations and environmental data. There are five parts to this lab:
Canis Latrans in grassland habitat. Source Gerald and Buff Corsi
obs_csv <- file.path(dir_data, "obs.csv")
obs_geo <- file.path(dir_data, "obs.geojson")
redo <- FALSE
if (!file.exists(obs_geo) | redo){
# get species occurrence data from GBIF with coordinates
(res <- spocc::occ(
query = 'Canis latrans',
from = 'gbif',
has_coords = T,
limit = 10000))
# extract data frame from result
df <- res$gbif$data[[1]]
readr::write_csv(df, obs_csv)
# convert to points of observation from lon/lat columns in data frame
obs <- df %>%
sf::st_as_sf(
coords = c("longitude", "latitude"),
crs = st_crs(4326)) %>%
select(prov, key) # save space (joinable from obs_csv)
sf::write_sf(obs, obs_geo, delete_dsn=T)
}
obs <- sf::read_sf(obs_geo)
nrow(obs) # number of rows
## [1] 10000
mapview::mapview(obs, map.types = "Esri.WorldImagery")
